not controlled by someone comparing to dollar.
If no one will give not dollars in front of Bitcoin, the price of Bitcoin will result 0,
and there are many ways to control exchange markets or putting posess of Bitcoin illegal.
The free market will always trump the PTB. Their systems of control are failing.
I'm not so sure about that 'always'.
Imagine a world where bitcoin, assange and snowden were delayed 10 years.
We'd have 100% surveillance, 100% money control, 100% government control by corporates and very powerful computers monitoring it all.
I think we might have just squeaked in; we might be able to mount defenses quickly enough with our new tools and return to 'free'.
